Still India

She walks alone,
Straight and tall,
So much hope
glitters in her starry eyes

But then again,
You crush her,
bring her back down
to her knees

Her teardrops fall
thick and fast
believe in me
she pleads

But Alas!
you were never taught
the strength of a woman
comes from within
though it may not
show without

This moment will pass
She will get up;
will fly again
but believe
in your daughter
you must!
